| Starman Kallisti DC Comics 2012/5/25 15:49 2330 1
Well, it has been a while, but I felt like trying out an old-school photomanip using the GIMP instead of Photoshop. Since I use Linux as my main operating system these days, Photoshop is simply not an option. I like the GIMP as a replacement program, I just haven't quite figured out how to do all the things I used to do with Photoshop yet. Needless to say, my skills are rusty as this is the first manip I have completed in years. That's why I went with a character that was fairly simple. Comments/criticism/hate mail always appreciated. |

| Sentry Kallisti Other Comics 2004/6/21 12:50 2692 2
Sentry from Hero Alliance. NOT a man you'd like to run into in a dark alley. Unless of course you're being chased by bad guys.... |

Here are the first two of several original characters i will be posting. This is Guardian and Invincible girl. for sake of space, i'll post details about both characters in a comment. enjoy! comments appreciated. |
|
| Flashback Kallisti Marvel Comics 2004/6/19 16:02 2893 2
Another character from Omega Flight, this is Flashback. He's the one on the right. The other guy is one of any number of temporal counterparts Flashback can summon at will. |
|
| Eternity Kallisti Marvel Comics 2004/7/11 0:29 2901 3
OK, so now i've caught up on unposted manips. This is Eternity, one of the extremely powerful abstract Cosmic entities in the Marvel Universe. This manip might look easy, but it took an insanely long time to do. I plan to do almost all of the major Cosmic beings, including Infinity, Eon, Ego, Abraxas, all those, plus Silver Surfer, and if i'm feeling ambitious, maybe Galactus or the Watcher! |

| Comic Cover Challenge Kallisti Marvel Comics 2004/8/8 19:14 2980 6
that wonder man that WH posted the other day got me thinking about the old-school wonder man i remembered from reading west coast avengers when i was young. and this is what came of it... Enjoy... |

| Do you mind? I'm busy here... Kallisti Marvel Comics 2009/5/23 21:22 3077 4
I've been slaving over this portrait of Domino since last night, and I think I'm done. So here she is, in all her annoyed glory. Comments appreciated. |

| Spider-Woman & Viper Redux Kallisti Marvel Comics 2009/5/13 19:59 3250 2
So, I just spent 4 hours of my life (that I will never get back) fumbling around in Adobe InDesign CS4 to help a friend with a project he needed for work. I have no experience with this seemingly non-intuitive program and it was quite a hassle. Long story short (too late) I was left with a feeling of ineptitude that I am not used to experiencing when working in Photoshop. So I decided to touch up a manip I posted sometime last year just to prove to myself that I still know how to use a computer. I don't know if that rant makes any sense, but here's a manip of Viper whispering in Spider-Woman's ear with the eyes fixed. If you're not familiar with the original, here's a link.

I think it looks better. |
|
| Gossamyr Kallisti Other Comics 2004/6/21 13:34 3260 6
Since BB requested it, here's an individual manip of Gossamyr from Hero Alliance... with a slightly uninspired background... come on folks! they can't all be winners, can they?... enjoy! |
|
| The Heckler Kallisti DC Comics 2004/4/4 17:53 3265 4
This is a real quickie I did because I haven't seen any manips of this character. I put him against this casino background mainly for the zany colors and dizzying camera angle. The Heckler was a short-lived DC series written and drawn by the great Kieth Giffen. I may go back and fiddle with this figure a little more, but i just felt like posting... as always, comments welcome. |

| "Which one of you jerks calls himself The Tick?!?!" Kallisti Other Comics 2004/5/10 16:03 3349 1
here's my answer to the May challenge. Barry, also known as The Tick. A rich kid who's dad own's the Superhero Bar where Tick and Arthur hang out, his shield gives him immense strength which enabled him to battle the Tick almost to a standstill. That is, until Tick took his shield away and then punched Barry into next year. The model is shootfighter Ken Shamrock. I think he does a good job of expressing the disgust and rage that Barry feels for the Tick. |
|
| Eris and the Chaos Girls, pt1 Kallisti Original Characters 2006/3/5 19:52 3374 5
a couple of characters from a comic series i'm half-a$$ed developing on and off for the last couple of years now. i posted these over at Bold Comics, and hopefully they're still there, as i plan to continue work as soon as i get my video card issues taken care of.
anyways, this is Eris, and one of her Chaos Girls. there are numerous members of this loose-knit 'team.' i'll post a bit more info in a comment if anyone is interested. or they can check out all the manips i've done of these and other characters, and about a dozen pages scripted for 'issue 1' over at BC.
nice to be back :) |

*** Additional information about these characters can be found here: http://heromorph.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=595&forum=1 ***
so here's the rest of the Guardians team, finishing out the first part of this series. Dash, Dr. Napalm, and Crystal standing in front of Guardians Headquarters. as usual, i'll leave a comment giving a few more details about each character.

|
| Kris: the Golden Guard Kallisti Other Comics 2004/6/21 11:33 3452 6
Kris from Hero Alliance stands in the ruins of the Guardmen's great hall, reflecting on the loss of her father and his teammates. This is the version of Kris from my group H.A. manip, and i liked it so much i wanted to show off the details... enjoy! |
|
| Rogue Kallisti Marvel Comics 2004/8/10 17:14 3453 3
I have no idea what comic series this costume is from, or what era. I based it on a picture i found on some X-Men website. But this model was begging to be turned into Rogue, and i like the slightly armored costume. Enjoy! |
|
| Masters of Evil Repost Kallisti Marvel Comics 2004/9/26 11:19 3507 2
I adjusted the Gamma settings on my monitor not long ago, and afterwards i noticed that several of my posted works didn't look quite right anymore. Since when i originally posted this piece, it was mentioned that it might be nominated for a Heromorph award, i figured i'd go back and touch it up a bit. I don't know if any moderators want to go through the trouble of replacing this image with the original one or not, but i'd like to make sure this is the version that gets voted on, should it be nominated. Enjoy. |

| October Challenge: Happy Halloween, Spider-Man... Kallisti Other Comics 2004/10/31 22:38 3528 13
Spider-Man was hot on the trail of Jack-O-Lanter, knowing he was up to no good. The web-slinger trailed him to an unfamiliar city, and was about to make his move, when out of nowhere Jack's old rival the Hobgoblin joined the party. The air ripples underneath Jack's flying disc as he lobs bomb after bomb at the Hobgoblin. Things look pretty scary for our hero, but the tables are about to turn, as Spidey recieves help from a couple of unlikely sources... |
|
| Marvel Elseworlds Kallisti Style, pt. 5: Rogue Kallisti Marvel Comics 2004/12/15 18:30 3530 5
OK so i went for the feisty-teenager look for rogue here, fairly simple costume. just jeans and a sweater basically, over a protective bodysuit. naturally, the bodysuit is more to protect others, not rogue herself. her gloves are easily removable, so she doesn't have to go around kissing bad guys all the time. enjoy! comments appreciated... |
|
| Hero Insider Issue #1 Kallisti DC Comics 2005/3/2 21:11 3569 6
So i found this magazine cover for something called "Star Week" and it had Lucy Lawless on it and some interview about some new series she's supposed to be in after Xena. The Warrior Woman title was already there. Basically I just made the headband, plopped in some new text, and tried to smooth some of the lines on her face out a bit. but not too much! WW is supposed to be tough as nails... Could possibly become a new series. Enjoy! Comments appreciated... |
|
| Wonder Woman: Variations by Kallisti part 01 Kallisti DC Comics 2005/3/7 10:38 3643 2
OK, so most of you will recognize this manip, because i posted another version of it already. i've prettied her up a bit here, apparently i left her a bit too rough for most people's tastes. i also changed her eye color and made the gold of her headband a bit more realistic. here's Lucy Lawless as Wonder Woman on the cover of a bogus magazine called Hero Insider. this is part one in a series of WW manips i'm doing, each either using a different model, or different costume inspired by comics, tv, and homemade ww costumes. part02 in the series will be posted in the members gallery! |
|
| Medusa Kallisti Marvel Comics 2004/10/18 10:43 3726 9
a strange manip. i had to rework the hair quite a bit, but you'd be surprised at how much was on the base pic. i think the model is pop singer Shakira. enjoy. comments appreciated. |
|
| Dazzler Waits Kallisti Marvel Comics 2004/10/14 12:18 3752 8
this base was singing to me in my sleep, asking to be manipped into Dazzler. so in the interest of me sleeping better at night, here she is... wonder who she's waiting on? Enjoy! commenst appreciated.. |
|
| Daredevil Gender Switch Kallisti Marvel Comics 2004/10/18 8:16 3861 2
OK, i don't know what happened to the original post, all i tried to do was add two words to the text... anyways, here's my female Daredevil, inspired partly by Tazman's recent SheDevil manip, and partly by this wonderful, if not a bit depressing base pic. Enjoy. |
|
| Avengers Spotlight: She-Hulk and Captain America Kallisti Marvel Comics 2005/2/18 18:15 3867 6
Caught in a sneak attack by The Scorpion and Thundra, Cap and Shulkie are in for quite a fight! Basically, i just wanted to use some base pics that i've been sitting on forever. I'm happy with the way it turned out, sure more could be done, but I've been busy and just felt like being done with this piece. Enjoy! Comments Appreciated... |
|
| Fury Kallisti DC Comics 2004/6/19 16:01 3914 5
From DC Comics. I don't know much about this character, she's in an issue of Who's Who that i have. Enjoy! |
|
| Black Vulcan on Patrol Kallisti DC Comics 2004/5/11 18:28 3932 6
That's right, Black Vulcan. the obscure character manipper strikes again! Black Vulcan was added to the Superfriends in their second season when people started to complain about all the superfirends being of a certain persuasion. Seen recently on an episode of Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law as a character witness for the injured Apache Chief and member of the Multicultural Superfriends, made up of Apache Chief, Black Vulcan, Apache Chief's girlfriend, Samurai, and Jesse Jackson. enjoy. |
|
| Magick Kallisti Marvel Comics 2004/3/21 23:17 3986 5
Okay, so I've been working on this for a couple of days, and i don't feel like working on it anymore. Thanks to Matrixblur for giving me the link to his metal textures, unfortunately, i got the message right after completing the manip. For the metal I actually frankensteined a bunch of pics of armor i found on the web, and used the plastic wrap and chrome filters with adjustments to the brightness/contrast. I'm proud of this one, even though it needs work. Especially the boots, but hey, it's my first try at boots. Let me know what you think. |
